WASHINGTON (AP) — One in
every four flights by the major car
riers arrived 15 minutes late in Sep
tember and 150 flights were chroni
cally so, arriving tardy more than
80 percent of the time, the govern
ment reported Tuesday.
The airlines’ on-time report card
was issued by the Transportation
Department in the first set of
monthly statistics aimed at helping
travelers choose airlines with the
best service.
American Airlines had the best
on-time arrival record in Septem

city and you have two airlines, you
want to know how they related on
specific flights,” said Jack Corbett, a
spokesman for the Airline Passen
gers of America, a group formed
last summer to fight poor airline
service.
And US Air was the tardiest
among 14 carriers listed by the re
port, based on statistics supplied by
the airlines themselves.
One-third of the chronically late
arrivals belong to Delta Air Lines,
the department said.
While the department report
provided consumer information on
tens of thousands of flights, critics
called the information incomplete
because it failed to include delays
caused by mechanical errors.
Rep. Norman Mineta, D-Calif,
chairman of the House Public
Works and Transportation Com
mittee’s aviation subcommittee, said
of the department’s report: “The
tables are confusing, the data in
comprehensible and the effort half
hearted. Consumers simply are not
well-served by this report.”
Meanwhile, the department said
the number of airline complaints
received by its consumer affairs of
fice declined for the second consec
utive month.
It said 36 percent fewer com
plaints were received in October
than had been reported in Septem
ber.
The critics also complained be
cause the on-time information did
not focus on specific flights.
Furthermore, some information
on delays at specific airports, based
on passenger volume, covered only
27 major airports, excluding such
cities as Cincinnati, Kansas City, In
dianapolis and New Orleans.
All of those cities have major avi
ation activity.

In the report card on service,
counting a flight as arriving on time
if it was within 15 minutes of the
scheduled time, the department
said American Airlines posted the
best record among 14 carriers, with
flights arriving on time 84.5 per
cent of the time in September.
It added that in this category,
USAir was the tardiest with an on-
time record of 67.4 percent.
Overall, 77 percent of the
430,000 flights during September
arrived at their destination within
15 minutes of their schedule, the
department said.

Tribute to Gershwin brings standing ovation

Leslie Uggams performs at “The Great Gershwin Concert.”
By Thomas Reinarts
Reviewer
A performance of “The Great
Gershwin Concert” featuring Mel
Torm£, Leslie Uggams, Peter Nero
and the Festival Concert Orchestra
was presented Tuesday night in
Rudder Auditorium in a show spon
sored by the MSC Opera and Per
forming Arts Society.
The audience enjoyed the tribute
to Ira and George Gershwin that
featured the piano playing of Nero
and the singing of Torm^ and Ug
gams. After the show, those attend
ing showed their appreciation with a
standing ovation. There were few
empty seats in the auditorium.
All three performers have several
albums to their credit. Torino’s
name has become more familiar to
the public lately thanks to the fre
quency with which he is mentioned
on the television show “Night
Court.”
The show started with “Variations
on T Got Rhythm,’ ” which featured
Nero and the band playing the pop
ular tune in several different styles.
Uggams came out for “Early Gersh
win Medley” and was accompanied
by Nero on the piano.
For “Gershwin and Love” Nero
left the stage and Uggams continued
to sing. Nero came back for “His
Concert Music,” as he and the band
played several selections from some
of George Gershwin’s concerts. The
various pieces during this section in
cluded abrupt changes in both
tempo and volume level.
“Great Gershwins” concluded the
first half of the evening’s perfor
mance. During this section, Torme
made his evening’s debut. He started
by singing in the be-bop style and
followed that with some of the
Gershwin songs that Fred Asm
popularized. Uggams came backoi
stage and joined Torm£ in a du:
that included “Let’s Call the WM
Thing Off."
The second half of the she
started with “Porgy and BessinC®
cert.” Uggams started this piece me
a slow, sad song and Torm^ enter#
after that and picked up the pa«
The two then joined in several duf-
that came from “Porgy and Bess."
This was the only part of thesho'|
that was too long. The fast pace
the show slowed here a bit too much
but fortunately the rest of the she
did not have this problem.
Torm£ and Uggams left thestaj
and Nero re-entered to play m®
selections from George Gershwin ;'
concert pieces in “PLaying Upi
Gershwin Storm.” At the midpoiE
of this, Torm6 took over at drum
and displayed some of his considfl
able talents on the percussion instn
ments.
“Cocktail Party” followed W#
Nero and Torm£ giving a humor®
rendition of how George used to®
tertain at parties by instantly ert
ating songs from a few given notes
For the finale, all three perforf
ers joined on stage for another mef
ley of Gershwin songs. For an et
core, Uggams sang “The Man
Love,” which was frequently ini#
rupted with humorous and sugge
live comments from Nero, Torn
and the band.
Nero, Torm6 and Uggams arei
very talented performers, and thi
were backed up by an impressive^
small orchestra. The medleys wer
well arranged and the music was®
joyable. The interspersed hui»
was a nice touch. The evening’sshn*
was definitely entertaining.
